Zamfara Offering Cows To Bandits As Incentive To Stop Killing by ContractKiller: 12:09pm On Jul 17, 2020
Repentant bandits in Nigeria’s north-western state of Zamfara are being offered two cows for every AK-47 they surrender.

It is an attempt to encourage them to give up a life of crime and live a normal life as responsible citizens, Zamfara Governor Bello Matawalle says.

Motorcycle-riding armed bandits operating out of abandoned forest reserves are ransacking communities in Zamfara and nearby Katsina and Sokoto states.

They often loot shops, steal cattle and grain, and take people hostage for ransom.

In a recent attack in Zamfara state, 21 people were killed in Talata Mafara town by armed bandits.

Most people are into agriculture in Zamfara state, where the motto is "farming is our pride".

“These bandits who choose to repent initially sold their cows to buy guns and now that they want a life free of criminality we are asking them to bring us an AK-47 and get two cows in return, this will empower and encourage them,” Mr Matawalle said in a statement.

This country is a mistake.... A great one at that.


One Governor was saying few days ago as well that some part of the state he govern should embrace peace (This part is a victim of frequent killing).

How did the AK get to the bandits in the first place?

You guys can't see that they are funding bandits. At the end, the will say 10,000 AK recovered. That is 20,000 cows.

They show pics of recovered AK that were not recovered at all. But the cash for 20,000 cows will be actually paid to the bandits.

We should share this country abeg

They will finish the cow and return to their banditry, or they will leave Zamfara for a while and go start terrorizing neighbouring states.

This Kantry is unique...Unique and funny headlines on weekly basis...

Achieving that in a society like Nigeria is a Herculean task so i wont want to rubbish the method used....the nation have been bastardized
